Talk:Train derails near Xinma station in Yilan, Taiwan

Death tolls

@TheGracefulSlick: With count of number killed in a {{breaking}} story, there's a temptation to write the number into the headline, but we've found that's risky and we modernly try to avoid it; we have technical (as well as aesthetic) reasons to avoid renaming articles after publication (it causes duplicate entries in some feeds). Btw, we mostly spell out integers up to twenty. --Pi zero (talk) 22:02, 21 October 2018 (UTC)

@Pi zero: understood. I wrote the title as is, mainly because I compared other articles on this site related to train accidents. What do you recommend as a replacement title?TheGracefulSlick (talk) 00:28, 22 October 2018 (UTC)

Maybe "Train derails near Xinma station in Yilan, Taiwan"? --Gryllida (chat) 00:32, 22 October 2018 (UTC)

Indeed, alternative detail to provide uniqueness ("tell the most important and unique thing"). If the number killed seems important, sometimes one can specify a bound, or an approximation (or both). --Pi zero (talk) 00:43, 22 October 2018 (UTC)

The changeability of the numbers on such things is also a good reason to attribute such numbers with care (there are of course plenty of reasons to attribute in news reporting). --Pi zero (talk) 20:32, 22 October 2018 (UTC)

This needs to be checked for plagiarism very carefully...

...as we are not legally allowed to copy any phrases from external sources. We have to write them in our own words -- without rearranging them, instead aim to convey the information in our own succinct way. I had to correct 'a mountain tourist attraction' in the last paragraph and a phrase one paragraph up but I ask the authors and reviewers and everyone else to check more. --Gryllida (chat) 05:34, 22 October 2018 (UTC)
